Advance Praise!
Occultism frequently gives ample grounds for criticism to its detractors by making insupportable claims for vaguely defined powers, the whole compassed by nonsensical theory. As Israel Reganlie did before him, DuQuette avoids this by writing from his own experience, with a healthy leavening of common sense and a refreshing sense of humor. -- Hymenaeus Beta X’, Frater Superior, O.T.O.
DuQuette has truly positioned himself as one ofthe leading magical talents of our day. -- Christopher S. Hyatt, Ph.D
Demons Are Our Friends (Chapter 7) as a classic-best explanation of magical field theory yet published. -- Poke Runyon
One of the most widely respected members of the magic community, Lon Milo DuQuette is known for his ability to address the rather intimidating aspects of magick with a casual candor; he makes the subject accessible to the initiate while still holding the interest of the experienced reader. Angels, Demons & Gods of the New Millennium is a collection of loosely connected essays surveying the state of magick in the face of the new millennium. It showcases DuQuette's knack for combining wit with profundity, producing chapters such as "Qabalah-Zen of the West" and "Demons Are Our Friends," while addressing contemporary topics such as initiations and the procession of the equinoxes.
Are angels and demons real? What makes the New Age the New Age? Does consciousness survive death? Writing from the perspective of a practicing ceremonial magician, one of America's most knowledgeable and engaging authorities on Western Hermeticism answers these questions and many more with humor and personal anecdotes. Illustrated and with color fold-out.
